Farmland at Risk, Food Security in Jeopardy | Ottawa News
Description
Farmland is vanishing at an alarming rate—and that’s a direct threat to our food supply. A growing movement demands mandatory Agricultural Impact Assessments for all major federal infrastructure projects, arguing that once farmland is lost, it’s gone forever. With massive investments pouring into roads, energy, and housing, we must pause and ask: what’s the cost to our ability to feed ourselves? The stakes are high—higher prices, weaker local food systems, and lost livelihoods. This isn’t just about construction; it’s about safeguarding our future by balancing progress with preservation, ensuring our nation’s development doesn’t sacrifice the very foundation of our food security.
